• I’m Baaaaack…..

  Mary Kay Career Conference in San Antonio was awesome! I finally got to eat at a place that my daughter recommended quite a while ago with two of my bestest MK buddies before the Friday evening session. Your prayers are really working wonders–one of my traveling companions was the one I asked everyone to pray for a little while ago as she dealt with her breast cancer. She is getting her last chemo treatment on Wednesday and she did just great during our trip. Strangers would come up and compliment her on her hair, not even knowing it was a wig!

  My other galpal invited us to stay at her dad’s home in a suburb just outside of the city, so we saved tons of money on that trip (We did put together a little set of men’s products that he likes as a thank you gift, but, hey, we can get it wholesale!) and he even drove us into the city on Saturday so we would not have to deal with the hassle of parking and getting over to the Convention Center, then he stopped and bought us dinner on the way back to his home before we left that evening. It felt as though we were being treated like royalty! Here is a picture of our whole group at the very end of the last day:

  

  The two tallest ladies on each end were my traveling companions and I am the only one (besides our director in her brown suit) not wearing mostly red & black since I wanted to use the new coastal color collection with the Bahama blue eyeliner while I was there. Usually I do not get all that jazzed about new color collections (especially the eye colors that pretty much hide behind my glasses anyway) but I really have really enjoyed wearing these! 

  Things have really been piling up around here while I was gone. (Exception being the yummy chocolates than Donkey got me for our anniversary–they are nearly gone!) Besides the MK orders to fill and taxes, there is still stuff from last weekend when we hosted meals for almost 30 people before it was over, along with my little furniture repair/refinishing project I have going on right now, so, as one of our offspring likes to say:

  Hasta la bye-bye!
